The whole lens assembly moves for focusing, not just the front element, and it doesn't rotate. Besides the 3 set screws of the focusing ring, there is one more for setting infinity that helps with assembly and keep the lens colimated.
I managed to clean the gear that cocks the shutter enough for it to work until I figure out how to reach the whole assembly.
Lightmeter (BEWI Automat) works fine outside (EV 10 and above) and it was within 1/2 stop of a Gossen handheld lightmeter
Loaded some old EFKE KB100 (Bought in Berlin in 2010) but the roll was too short (10 exp).
Inside photo, I used the built-in lightmeter (BEWI) and 15/3.5 seemed OK, however it's underexposed so below EV8 is not trusty.
I may have also underdeveloped as water is quite cold and I did the time compensation in my head from 10 to 12:30, maybe another minute was needed.

Oh, you should have mentioned that on Flickr, Pablo. I purchased the large viewfinder model (which the BL is based on) a while back, and found the lens assembly to be much different than the original B. I couldn't get it to separate from the body, so I just put it back together and into storage. I did a CLA on one for a friend of mine which was slightly different than mine, so it had the better shutter as I recall. It wasn't harder to do, just different.
